I believe there may be a couple of points you might have overlooked in your comparison of 2011-15 and the past couple of years.

You did mention the change, but not effects of the change. In the 90's Marvin was also not coaching the team. Now he is also not the coach again.

The result when Marv was not the coach in the 90s are quite similar to the result of him not being the coach now.
